It feels like my body was made next to yours‘cause it fits like a glove when I’m holding you close and this couldn’t be luckI never knew it would feel like this-- But now that I do, I just want you to kiss me again

It feels like my heart was filled next to yours‘cause it beats like a drum keeping time to your clock and this has to be fateOh I never knew it would feel like this-- But now that I do, I just want you to kiss me again

Kiss me again and again and again and againOh baby won’t you kiss me againKiss me again and again and again and againBaby won’t you kiss me again

It feels like my mind just can’t keep off of yours‘cause I’m lying awake wondering if you’re awake and you’re thinking of me

Oh I never knew it would feel like this-- But now that I do, I just want you to kiss me again

Take Me To The River

When is my god gonna come for me?

Nobody knows where the time goes, slipping away through the windowsAnd nobody shows when they send home for youBut everyone knows that tomorrow could be their last day still breathing -- sohelp me while I still can die a penitent man

Take me to the river, to the seaMake me feel the shiver over meBaby I’m a sinner coming clean‘cause I’ll never know -- when is my god gonna come for me?

Look at my hands look at my heart, what was my plan what was my part? Tell me -- was I man with a false start, and you? All of my debts and my bloodstones, will they go down with me father? Oh, this is how I must go, ready for the unknown

I wanna know if he’ll welcome my soul into heavenI wanna know if I’ll be alone

Leaving You

I can’t go on like this anymore, restless when I am at your sideSo I’m leaving home for a distant shore, or whatever I may findTen years ahead lies the picket fence, three kids and all of my happinessBut I can’t pretend in the present tense -- won’t you understand, love?

I am leaving you anywaySo why don’t you smile? I will come back for you someday so miss me for a while

My dreams are teaming with emerald hills, while I’m wrapped in sheets of kelly greenSo I gaze and lean into windowsills, where my truth might yet be seenYou know that I’m not a selfish guy, this is the best for both of usBut you’re still so beautiful in my eyes -- won’t you wait for me, love?

I am leaving you anyway(I am stronger so I) So why don’t you smile(So I am letting you go) I will come back for you someday(Someday might never arrive) So miss me for a while

Let Me In

I was twenty-seven days late for my arrivalI tried twenty-seven ways to cut down my survivalSon, I know you can’t begin to understand, and I hope you’ll never have to knowwhat it’s like to be a drifting kind of man

So let me in, let me in andClean my sin, pull me from this cup I’m inI want us to begin again, now I’ve come back

Windows clouded with your breath, fingers wipe away your tearsThe hope you had for love that left, has dwindled through the yearsOne embrace can not erase all of your painI hope this moment’s not in vain

Jolene

Paychecks and cigarettes govern the kitchenetteshe works the evenings, believing what her teachers always said:"Jolene is very keen, that girl will live the dream-- Go to college, get away." But her boyfriend, in the prison, he’ll say:

Wait for me, one more day, and when I’m free, Baby we will run away

Wait for me, one more day, and when I’m freeBaby we will run away. Baby we will run away.

Hey Jolene, you’re the one I wantTo come with me when I leave this hauntBaby sink or swim, we’ll be on our ownCuz we’re leaving Ohio
